If you are looking for a job, you are likely to do the daily rounds on all the best job search websites. This is a great approach, but are you wasting your time? Of course you aren’t because you need a job; therefore, you need to search. But, are you maximizing use of your time?
You might not be. After all, you are doing the same searches on different websites. Once again, this is an important task, but does it ever feel like it is a waste of your time? If so, you want to closely examine desktop applications that work as job finding tools; they are commonly referred to as job finders.
While you can keep doing your searching on all those career search websites, I encourage you to do a little bit of experimenting. Most desktop job finders have a free trial period. Give that free trial a try; ditch the job search websites. But wait! Why should you? What difference you will see?
Maximize the use of your time: If you didn’t already know, a job finder is a program that helps you find a job. They accomplish this goal by searching all the best job sites for you. Good job finders will search hundreds of career sites. Great finders will search thousands for you.
The neat thing is that these are the same career websites you are visiting and searching each day. The only difference is that you need to do just one search. Yes one search! There is no more having to visit ten or more sites a day just to keep performing the same search. One search will search hundreds or thousands of websites for you!
Get the same great features: Many people wonder if they lose anything important when making the switch to doing a traditional website search and searching with a job finder. Most often, you will not lose anything at all. See most of the features are the same. It is not uncommon for you to setup email alerts of new jobs; a desktop application will let you do this. It is not uncommon for you to gain access to advanced search features; a desktop application will give you that same access.

It is not uncommon for you to apply to jobs directly through the website; a job finder will let you do this too! In fact, you are likely to gain access to features not found on a traditional career search website, such as the ability to add customized notes to a job!
As you can see, there are a number of benefits to giving a desktop job finding program a try. So what are you waiting for? You are searching the same websites you have always been searching; you are just making better use of your time now when doing so.
